V PAGE 14-PLAINDEALER-TUESDAY, JUtY 3, 1973 EDITORIALS Grow Up -- Go Home! Pertinent advice for the young generation has been of­ fered by -Judge Phillip C.illiam of Denver, Colorado. To­ day's young men and women are more sensibly and realis­ tically oriented than were their counterparts just four or five years ago hut the advice is still valid, and worth re­ peating each summer--as college and university students go home: •'(in home. Hang thq storm windows, paint the woodwork, the leaves, mow the lawn, wash the car, learn to cook, the floors, repair the sink, build a boat, get a job, Visit the sick, help the /our lessons . . . and when you are through and r°ad y ^ood book. raki' scrub help the minister, priest or rabbi. • xtor studv ; •> >t 'oo tired "v <>ur ;>;irents don't owe you entertainment.

In jiain simple words, grow up; quit being a cry baby. Get out of your dream world and develop a backbone, not a wishbone: start acting like a man or lady. You have no n«nt to expect your parents to buy you every whim or fancy ust because your selfish ego instead of common sense dominates * our personality, thinking and requests. In heav­ en's name, grow up and go home." Fog Over Birth Rate Much ado is currently being made about the declining i:.S. birth rate. The latest Census Bureau report (mid-May) shows the rate at its lowest level in 35 years. As a result, headlines in every corner of the nation have announced that the birth rate has reached a zero population growth level. But even if the low rate continues, it would be many years before a zero growth level is reached. And the his­ tory of the U.S. birth rate is that it moves up and down. Fven more important is the fact that this zero projection --used in so many headlines--is predicated on an assump­ tion of no immigration from other nations, and, of course, hundreds of thousands enter the U.S. legally, and illegal­ ly, every year. The nation's idealistic immigration law al­ lows several hundred thousand foreigners to enter the U.S. each year. In addition, wetbacks from Mexico flood over the border into Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Cubans sneak into Florida. Many Europeans enter New York and other cities illegally. Thus the population is certain to rise for many years to come; it may rise proportionately more from immigration than births, which stirs mixed emotions, but it will surely rise. And thus today's ecology problems are certain to be steadily aggravated in the coming years. Meeting Drunken Driver Those of us who drive today are survivors. Every day, thousands of other drivers who take to our highways aren't so lucky. They wind up victims of the motor car which, in its brief life, has already claimed more lives than all the wars in our history. Half the death^yinjuries and property damage occurring on our highways every year stem from accidents in which alcohol is in­ volved. For a long while, the effects of alcohol on accident rates lay buried in the very statistics of accidents. Alcohol was rarely listed as the "cause" of an accident. When, for instance, a drunk driver smashed into a tree at 80 m.p.h., only "excessive speed" was likely to be entered as the cause on the official accident report. But new research techniques and investigation pro­ cedures have finally exposed the drunk driver as the greatest menace on our highways. What can be done about this situation is outlined in a book of highway accident statistics compiled by an insurance company. First of all, the book says, we have to overcome complacency. We must build public opinion to the point where drunk drivers will not be tolerated on our high­ ways. And we can begin by examining our own opinions and feelings about this problem. The drunk has long been viewed as a comic character, harmless and amusing. But behind the wheel, he's a potential killer! And it is only in curbing this potential for. destruction that we can ever hope to reduce the tragic toll of death and injury that each year mars our highways. The toll has been reduced in other countries. It can and must be reduced here. We have the means at hand. But what seems lacking is a sense of urgency. Right now, a nation-wide campaign is under way aimed at heightening public awareness of the dangers of the drunk driver and channeling public action against what has clearly become the greatest scourge in our nation's history. One important development in this campaign occurred in 1966 when, under the provisions of an act passed by Congress, the federal government entered the field of highway safety. One of its first targets was the drinking driver. The drunk driver killed 27,000 men, women and children - almost double the number killed as the result of violent criminal acts. He injured 2,350,000 others, many permanently. This represents an average of more injuries in one month than were sustained through crimes of violence for the entire year. He was responsible for a daily economic loss amounting to nearly $20 million. He caused suffering and grief that no one can begin to measure in terms of economic loss. Research, surveys^ new legislation, and action programs are all signs that we are at last moving to meet the problem of the drinking driver head on ... before it meets us on the road.

Safe And Sane Fourth Must Be Family Affair Parents continue to face the menace of fireworks, the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness warns as the nation's 197th birthday celebration approaches. Even though there is a strict law in Illinois regulating the sale of dangerous fireworks, it hasn't stopped the flow of illegal or "bootlegged" firecrackers and other hazardous pyrotechnics, the Society reports. Last year, according to the ISPB, at least forty-two per­ sons, most of them children, sustained serious injuries while celebrating Independence day. "Many of these injuries," Leonard H. Heise, ISPB's executive director, em­ phasizes, "were to the eyes." The Society holds very little hope that this 4th of July will be any safer than celebrations of the past unless parents are far more cautious and alert to the dangers. Nearly two centuries have passed since the war for American independence. Of the heroes who fought in that war, 4,044 did not return from the battlefields; 6,004 returned permanently disabled. Since 1900 more Americans have lost their livp* celebrating the victories of the Revolution with fireworks than were sacrificed in the war itself. Those Security The monthly premium for Medicare medical insurance, scheduled to be increased in July, has been rolled back in keeping with President Nixon's 60-day price freeze policy, according to William Biscomb, Social Security branch manager of Woodstock. "The higher amount will continue to be charged until the premium record for each beneficiary can be corrected," Mr. Biscomb said. "Refunds in full will be made at a later date. This also applies to railroad retirement beneficraries and civil service annuitants who pay premiums for medical insurance under Medicare." Medicare Medical Insurance helps pay for doctor bills and many other medical expenses of almost everyone 65 or over and disabled people under 65 who have been eligible for monthly Social Security disability payments for two years or more. maimed, crippled, and blinded by these observances now total more than 100,000. Unfortunately, the Society points out, illegal fireworks that can maim and blind can still be purchased by school children from unscrupulous salesmen who bring carloads of fireworks into the state from unrestricted areas. Individual ownership and use of fireworks has been outlawed in Illinois since 1950. In that year, the ISPB finally forced passage of a bill restricting the sale of dangerous fireworks. There was never any in­ tention in the bill of depriving youngsters of the thrill and excitement of watching the brilliant and beautiful fireworks displays which have traditionally highlighted civic celebrations on the 4th. The current law in no way in­ terferes with the sale and use of fireworks for authorized public displays. // Among the illegal fireworks likely to be encountered by children, crackerballs are a frequent cause of injuries and even death. These are brightly colored, pea-sized firecrackers that are designed to explode when hurled against a hard surface. Their color, size, and shape often deceive youngsters into thinking they are candy. Several years ago, a child swallowed a crackerball and died from the arsenic contained in the tiny explosive. Other children have received serious burns, and because even a hard bump can explode them, crackerballs are a serious danger to vision. Equally dangerous, although sold legally, are such pyrotechnics as highway safety flares which burn at several times the heat of a gas flame and can produce painful burns. Sale of the ingredients for making certain types of rockets and bombs is not restricted by law. It is explosive devices such as these plus a wide selection of other fireworks, that makes vigilance on the part of all parents with small children and teen-agers so important, the Society emphasizes. "A safe and sane 4th has to be a family affair," Heise "con­ cludes. ON DEAN'S LIST Helen E.
